Making the Board relevant to the Jewish community
In my first three years I have stood up and:
✔ Visited communities across the UK and held regular meetings with the Representative Councils
✔ Appointed the Board’s first regional employee in Manchester
✔ Held our first Youth Assembly and appointed an Equalities champion
✔ Been elected as Chair of the Council of the European Jewish Congress, and served as Vice President of the World Jewish Congress and as a trustee of the Shoah Claims Conference
✔ Provided training for Deputies, held coffee mornings and created our popular ‘Bodcast’
✔ Begun the difficult journey of constitutional reform
In my next three years I will:
● Listen and use the knowledge of the last six years / recent experiences to consult and make recommendations for fit-for-purpose future governance, representation and procedures
● Train and mentor Deputies to be the future leaders of the community, via an 18 month L’dor Vador leadership programme
● Continue to support the regions as part of our regional engagement plan and establish a Youth Council
● Create a culture of trust that optimises good working relations throughout the entire organisation and ensure the increased involvement of Deputies in the work of the Board
